Tom: Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding
is that any SLR with a pop-up flash uses mirrors in the viewfinder
instead of a true prism. That makes the finder less bright, and
leaves room for very slight misalignment which would cause
focus errors. Of course, with autofocus, none of that may be
critical. The more expensive models have solid glass prisms
in the viewfinder. With a prism, there isn't room for the pop-up
flash to be folded.
